Description

The HPE MSA 24TB SAS 12G Midline Hard Drive (S3P38A) delivers high-capacity, cost-efficient storage in a Large Form Factor (3.5-inch) design, purpose-built for HPE MSA storage arrays. Running at 7,200 RPM with a 12Gb/s SAS interface and 1.2 GBps sustained transfer rate, it is optimised for data archiving, backup, and general-purpose workloads where capacity and value take priority over raw IOPS. The Second Generation MSA Carrier (M2) ensures seamless compatibility with current-generation MSA platforms including the MSA 1060, MSA 2060, and MSA Gen7 arrays.

This drive supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and MSA-DP+, and is eligible for non-disruptive online media firmware upgrades via HPE MSA Smart Components. It can also be mixed with SFF drive enclosures in MSA expansion configurations, offering deployment flexibility as capacity needs grow. For volume deployments, the S3P39A 6-pack bundle includes six of these drives. Upgrade your network with gear from iptrading.com.au — Australia's IT hardware specialists.

FAQs

Q: Which HPE MSA arrays is the S3P38A compatible with?
A: The S3P38A is designed exclusively for HPE MSA storage platforms, including the MSA 1060, MSA 2060, and MSA Gen7 arrays. The Second Generation MSA Carrier (M2) ensures compatibility with current-generation MSA enclosures.

Q: What workloads is this Midline drive suited for?
A: Midline drives are optimised for high-capacity, cost-efficient workloads with moderate duty cycles. The S3P38A is best suited to data archiving, backup repositories, and general-purpose storage where capacity-per-dollar matters more than peak IOPS.

Q: Can I mix this LFF drive with SFF drives in the same MSA system?
A: Yes. HPE MSA expansion configurations allow LFF and SFF drive enclosures to be mixed within the same storage system, giving you flexibility to balance capacity and performance tiers as your needs evolve.

Q: What RAID levels does this drive support in an MSA array?
A: When installed in a compatible HPE MSA array, this drive supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and MSA-DP+ (HPE's dual-parity RAID scheme), giving you a range of data protection options for different workload requirements.

Q: Is there a bulk purchase option for this drive?
A: Yes. The S3P39A is the 6-pack bundle, which contains six S3P38A drives and is ideal for populating an LFF enclosure or expanding storage capacity in volume. Contact iptrading.com.au for bundle pricing and availability in Australia.
